6b9ea5ff5a checkpatch: warn about uses of ENOTSUPP
ENOTSUPP often feels like the right error code to use, but it's
in fact not a standard Unix error. E.g.:

$ python
>>> import errno
>>> errno.errorcode[errno.ENOTSUPP]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'errno' has no attribute 'ENOTSUPP'

There were numerous commits converting the uses back to EOPNOTSUPP
but in some cases we are stuck with the high error code for backward
compatibility reasons.

Let's try prevent more ENOTSUPPs from getting into the kernel.

Recent example:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200510182252.GA411829@lunn.ch/

v3 (Joe):
 - fix the "not file" condition.

v2 (Joe):
 - add a link to recent discussion,
 - don't match when scanning files, not patches to avoid sudden
   influx of conversion patches.

ab8d78093d bpf: Minor fixes to BPF helpers documentation
Minor improvements to the documentation for BPF helpers:

* Fix formatting for the description of "bpf_socket" for
  bpf_getsockopt() and bpf_setsockopt(), thus suppressing two warnings
  from rst2man about "Unexpected indentation".
* Fix formatting for return values for bpf_sk_assign() and seq_file
  helpers.
* Fix and harmonise formatting, in particular for function/struct names.
* Remove blank lines before "Return:" sections.
* Replace tabs found in the middle of text lines.
* Fix typos.
* Add a note to the footer (in Python script) about "bpftool feature
  probe", including for listing features available to unprivileged
  users, and add a reference to bpftool man page.

Thanks to Florian for reporting two typos (duplicated words).

492e639f0c bpf: Add bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write helpers
Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for
writing data to the seq_file buffer.

bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type
fields so at least I can get identical results for
netlink and ipv6_route targets.

For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW
specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which
means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation
if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object
collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is
done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not
be visited.

For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to
read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in
the following two cases:
  - invalid kernel address, or
  - valid kernel address but requiring a major fault
If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be
an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0.
Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with
what bpf_trace_printk() does for now.

bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu
buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is
not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it
wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not
happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards
bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

50e36be1fb scripts/gdb: repair rb_first() and rb_last()
The current implementations of the rb_first() and rb_last() gdb
functions have a variable that references itself in its instanciation,
which causes the function to throw an error if a specific condition on
the argument is met.  The original author rather intended to reference
the argument and made a typo.  Referring the argument instead makes the
function work as intended.

e08df079b2 scripts/decodecode: fix trapping instruction formatting
If the trapping instruction contains a ':', for a memory access through
segment registers for example, the sed substitution will insert the '*'
marker in the middle of the instruction instead of the line address:

	2b:   65 48 0f c7 0f          cmpxchg16b %gs:*(%rdi)          <-- trapping instruction

I started to think I had forgotten some quirk of the assembly syntax
before noticing that it was actually coming from the script.  Fix it to
add the address marker at the right place for these instructions:

	28:   49 8b 06                mov    (%r14),%rax
	2b:*  65 48 0f c7 0f          cmpxchg16b %gs:(%rdi)           <-- trapping instruction
	30:   0f 94 c0                sete   %al

included a trailing new line.

9d82973e03 gcc-10 warnings: fix low-hanging fruit
Due to a bug-report that was compiler-dependent, I updated one of my
machines to gcc-10.  That shows a lot of new warnings.  Happily they
seem to be mostly the valid kind, but it's going to cause a round of
churn for getting rid of them..

This is the really low-hanging fruit of removing a couple of zero-sized
arrays in some core code.  We have had a round of these patches before,
and we'll have many more coming, and there is nothing special about
these except that they were particularly trivial, and triggered more

cmd_dtc takes one additional parameter to pass to the -O option of dtc.

We need to pass 'yaml' to if_changed_rule. Otherwise, cmd-check invoked
from if_changed_rule is false positive.

e8f4ba8331 scripts/kernel-doc: Add missing close-paren in c:function directives
When kernel-doc generates a 'c:function' directive for a function
one of whose arguments is a function pointer, it fails to print
the close-paren after the argument list of the function pointer
argument. For instance:

 long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn) (void *, void * arg)

in driver-api/basics.html is missing a ')' separating the
"void *" of the 'fn' arguments from the ", void * arg" which
is an argument to work_on_cpu().

Add the missing close-paren, so that we render the prototype
correctly:

 long work_on_cpu(int cpu, long (*fn)(void *), void * arg)

(Note that Sphinx stops rendering a space between the '(fn*)' and the
'(void *)' once it gets something that's syntactically valid.)

76426e2388 kbuild: add dummy toolchains to enable all cc-option etc. in Kconfig
Staring v4.18, Kconfig evaluates compiler capabilities, and hides CONFIG
options your compiler does not support. This works well if you configure
and build the kernel on the same host machine.

It is inconvenient if you prepare the .config that is carried to a
different build environment (typically this happens when you package
the kernel for distros) because using a different compiler potentially
produces different CONFIG options than the real build environment.
So, you probably want to make as many options visible as possible.
In other words, you need to create a super-set of CONFIG options that
cover any build environment. If some of the CONFIG options turned out
to be unsupported on the build machine, they are automatically disabled
by the nature of Kconfig.

However, it is not feasible to get a full-featured compiler for every
arch.

This issue was discussed here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/9/620

Other than distros, savedefconfig is also a problem. Some arch sub-systems
periodically resync defconfig files. If you use a less-capable compiler
for savedefconfig, options that do not meet 'depends on $(cc-option,...)'
will be forcibly disabled. So, 'make defconfig && make savedefconfig'
may silently change the behavior.

This commit adds a set of dummy toolchains that pretend to support any
feature.

Most of compiler features are tested by cc-option, which simply checks
the exit code of $(CC). The dummy tools are shell scripts that always
exit with 0. So, $(cc-option, ...) is evaluated as 'y'.

There are more complicated checks such as:

  scripts/gcc-x86_{32,64}-has-stack-protector.sh
  scripts/gcc-plugin.sh
  scripts/tools-support-relr.sh

scripts/dummy-tools/gcc passes all checks.

From the top directory of the source tree, you can do:

   $ make CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools/ oldconfig

7273ad2b08 kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y
Kbuild supports not only obj-y but also lib-y to list objects linked to
vmlinux.

The difference between them is that all the objects from obj-y are
forcibly linked to vmlinux, whereas the objects from lib-y are linked
as needed; if there is no user of a lib-y object, it is not linked.

lib-y is intended to list utility functions that may be called from all
over the place (and may be unused at all), but it is a problem for
EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Even if there is no call-site in the vmlinux, we need
to keep exported symbols for the use from loadable modules.

Commit 7f2084fa55 ("[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably")
worked around it by linking a dummy object, lib-ksyms.o, which contains
references to all the symbols exported from lib.a in that directory.
It uses the linker script command, EXTERN. Unfortunately, the meaning of
EXTERN of ld.lld is different from that of ld.bfd. Therefore, this does
not work with LD=ld.lld (CBL issue #515).

Anyway, the build rule of lib-ksyms.o is somewhat tricky. So, I want to
get rid of it.

At first, I was thinking of accumulating lib-y objects into obj-y
(or even replacing lib-y with obj-y entirely), but the lib-y syntax
is used beyond the ordinary use in lib/ and arch/*/lib/.

Examples:

 - drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile builds lib.a, which is linked
   into vmlinux in the own way (arm64), or linked to the decompressor
   (arm, x86).

 - arch/alpha/lib/Makefile builds lib.a which is linked not only to
   vmlinux, but also to bootloaders in arch/alpha/boot/Makefile.

 - arch/xtensa/boot/lib/Makefile builds lib.a for use from
   arch/xtensa/boot/boot-redboot/Makefile.

One more thing, adding everything to obj-y would increase the vmlinux
size of allnoconfig (or tinyconfig).

For less impact, I tweaked the destination of lib.a at the top Makefile;
when CONFIG_MODULES=y, lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS, which is
forcibly linked to vmlinux, otherwise lib.a goes to KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS
as before.

The size impact for normal usecases is quite small since at lease one
symbol in every lib-y object is eventually called by someone. In case
you are intrested, here are the figures.

x86_64_defconfig:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
19566602 5422072 1589328 26578002 1958c52 vmlinux.before
19566932 5422104 1589328 26578364 1958dbc vmlinux.after

The case with the biggest impact is allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y.

ARCH=x86 allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
1175162	 254740	1220608	2650510	 28718e	vmlinux.before
1177974	 254836	1220608	2653418	 287cea	vmlinux.after

Hopefully this is still not a big deal. The per-file trimming with the
static library is not so effective after all.

If fine-grained optimization is desired, some architectures support
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, which trims dead code per-symbol
basis. When LTO is supported in mainline, even better optimization will
be possible.
